Diamond Circle Tour

Venture into Iceland’s dramatic northeast on a private exploration of landscapes shaped by fire, ice, and time. Today’s journey takes you through some of the country’s most catastrophic yet breathtaking terrain, where volcanic and geothermal forces have sculpted a world of staggering contrasts.

Begin east of Lake Mývatn as you enter the highlands, arriving at the Jökulsá Glacier River in Vatnajökull National Park. Here, the raw power of Iceland’s largest glacier is on full display: the river’s canyoned paths and jagged rock formations are carved by ancient and recent glacier floods, a testament to the relentless energy of nature. Every turn reveals vistas that are both humbling and awe-inspiring.

The tour continues to Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, whose thunderous cascade is a spectacle of raw, elemental force. Standing at the edge of the churning water, you feel the glacier’s energy and the sheer scale of the landscape, an unforgettable encounter with nature in its most unrestrained form.

From here, the journey heads north to the Arctic coastline, where the dramatic canyon of Ásbyrgi unfolds like a natural cathedral, its cliffs steep and forested, and its serene lake reflecting the sky. The final leg leads to Húsavík, a picturesque fishing village where the rugged coast meets the North Atlantic, offering a gentle contrast to the wild grandeur of the highlands.

This private adventure blends geology, history, and remote beauty, offering travellers an intimate encounter with Iceland’s raw landscapes. Every glacier-carved canyon, cascading waterfall, and Arctic vista tells a story of power, resilience, and awe, an exclusive exploration of Iceland at its most extraordinary.
